Sutton: Liverpool manager Klopp needs to be banned

Former England striker Chris Sutton says Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp should be banned for his behaviour at the end of victory over Tottenham.

Klopp celebrated the winner in the face of fourth official John Brooks, which referee Paul Tierney booked him for. The German later claimed Tierney said something to him untoward - which referees body PGMOL have since denied.

Sutton told BBC Sport: "For the way he acted on the touchline, he should be banned from the technical area.

"I don't think a fine is enough. He's got previous.

"It's a big deal. There will have been coaches and kids watching and thinking it's OK to run towards and abuse officials.

"As far as I'm concerned, Klopp should be banned. He knows what he did was wrong."
